Yes you can, and it's rather amusing at times. Glad to hear that so many of you like videos here, but then I should have known that from the nature of this forum. The thing is though, when I found out it was a movie forum with some game chat, rather than a forum for mostly user made movies, I was thinking no one would want to see amature stuff compared to box office, but I'll let you be the judge. Lately I've been experimenting with widescreen, and just did 16:9 versions of my last two Far Cry videos.

I used to hang out at the Ubi FarCry forum, where they have a user made movie section over 3 pages long now, but it's not nearly as active as this place is.

Hey Lana you had me fooled with that new sig, I almost didn't recognize ya! Just loaded one up meself. 🙂

Sats, try to pick up Far Cry, it's a blast to play.

Like frag maniac said, once you get a hang of it, its pretty easy to play.
The only annoying thing is that if you start getting shot at, you usually cant see who's shooting at you.

I can't wait for an expansion or a sequel. (or prequel) haha.

Vids can be lots of fun ✅

And I tend to change my sig a lot, I get bored quickly 😛

That's where those handy binocs come in, and they will track through some solid objects at fairly close range, although not dense ones. The trick is, to use them to tag mercs before approaching, then pick spots at the perimeter of the camp where you can take cover and afford to glance at the mini map, which shows their position after they're tagged with the binocs.

It's also a good idea to set up within sight of the alarms that many camps have when you approach, so as to stop mercs from setting them off.

There is supposed to be a PC expansion, there was talk of 4th quarter last year, 1st quarter this year, but there doesn't seem to be any buzz at all about it currently.

The problem is Ubisoft is in total control now, after CryTek left the project, so it likely won't be as good as the original.

I know how to play the game.

But they're always that one or two guys you missed. The binocs dont catch anything at all.

Why did CryTek leave? It doesnt make sense because Far Cry is theyre baby.

Yes, sometimes there are indeed mercs you cannot see from afar to tag with the binocs, thus your "one or two guys you missed" statement. I don't see how that statement fits with "The binocs don't catch anything at all" though, unless I read you wrong.

When I get a chance to show my videos, there are some that make much use of the binocs, like the River and Catacombs levels. Maybe we can compare tactics better after you see those. 😉

There is also the Pier level though, one I've yet to make a video of, where the binocs are very usefull.

As far as why did CryTek leave, it's no doubt money related. Word is they hooked up with EA and are curently working on an unknown project with them.

With CryTek having cranked out such a marvelous first production, you can imagine the interest that followed from big name, big money publishers. I feel they likely needed money to increase their production crew and no doubt made out in both selling the rights to the Cry Engine and in contractiing with EA.
